For most people, especially the younger generation and the intellectuals, they tend to reduce faith to reason.  They need explanations to be logical and scientific in order for them to come to believe in the existence of God.  It is not wrong of course, to seek rational proofs.  That is part of our formation of faith as well.   Faith and reason are not contradictory.  Nevertheless reason alone, whilst not impossible, cannot bring one to faith.  Faith needs reason, but faith is beyond reason.  Faith is therefore reasonable, but not reasoned.  Reason establishes the credibility for faith.   Having said that, faith also requires the grace of God who is at work in all those who are open and sincere in trying to seek Him.  Do not be discouraged in your search for God.  Continue to seek Him, but most importantly, ask for the gift of faith so that you may encounter Him in a way that transcends reason. 📹 Watch the full Heart-to-Heart Conversation on the topic of I'm a Christian, Now What?
